Surprisingly enough, he does not reject his days as Wesley Crusher, but embraces them. He's carved out a space for himself that doesn't rest on his Star Trek credentials, and even if he had never been on the show, he'd still be a fine and upstanding member of the online community. He's a tech evangelist and one of the most active bloggers out there, discussing tech, games, family, politics, and whatever else he feels like talking about. With the growth of the Internet, Wheaton has really found his place. Fortunately for us, he has chosen otherwise. I think he could have easily been forgiven for dropping out of the public eye forever after being treated like that. A small, but very vocal segment of the TNG fan base actively hated Wesley and, by extension, Wheaton. The fans would speak of 'The Wesley Crusher Problem' and write horrible fanfiction that would put Ensign Crusher through some of the most depraved torments they could think of. And one of those early groups was the infamous .die.die. In the early heyday of the internet, before liveblogging and Twitter and Facebook, there was Usenet - an early internet discussion group. From the age of fourteen, he was given the unenviable role of playing one of the most despised characters in modern science fiction, at least before Jar Jar showed up. Wheaton's experience on TNG was one that a lot of the fans (and I count myself among them) seriously under-appreciate. As it was, he was on Star Trek: The Next Generation, which sent him down, let us say, a different path. Perhaps if he had been given the right roles with the right people, he would still be acting today and impressing us with the depth of his talent. He certainly wasn't what he could have become, but as child actors went, he did okay. Wil Wheaton wasn't a bad actor as a kid - anyone who watched Stand By Me can agree on that. In the end, a lot of child actors either burn out or give up. For a lot of directors, even a poor child actor is good enough to fill out the character that has been created for him or her, so expectations are usually pretty low. To match the level of their adult counterparts, they have to work just that much harder, and they still get pigeonholed into fairly flat characters. They're called upon to do what older actors have been doing their whole lives, often acting alongside people who know their craft so much better than they do. For a lot of directors, even a poor child actor is good enough to fill out the character that has been created for him or her, so expectati There's something inherently sad about child actors.
